S8
The S8 is an external control device, which allows initiation
of eight selectable E Desk actions. Actions can be individual
or grouped functions within E Desk. This includes recalling
presets, ducking, combining, etc.
S8 components have no Control Dialog Boxes. They are
represented in the layout as a block with eight control output
nodes. These control output nodes are connected to control
input nodes on the other component blocks to be controlled.
These other components may include Remote Preset Buttons,
Duckers, Room Combiners, and Voltage Command Boxes.
Muting and room combining routines can also be achieved
using presets. Voltage Command Boxes can provide logic
outputs for controlling additional equipment, external to E
Desk.
S8 behavior can be altered using Logic Gates.
S8 controls include a raceway (surface-mount) back-box, but
will fit most US standard single-gang (flush-mount) back-
boxes. Custom Control Labels may be printed for the S8.
Please refer to the 'Installation Guide
' (included with controls), or see Control Bus for more information. External
controls must be identified (see Device Maintenance) and associated with their corresponding component blocks within
the layout (see Equipment Table).
